Do you wear cleaning gloves?

Okay, so I do not normally wear cleaning gloves... but when I saw the super cute gloves that Kim and Aggie were wearing, I knew I needed to find some!!!

While I can't find their exact gloves, I did find a website with adorable cleaning gloves! It's called ComfyBath and the gloves are called Gloveables (how cute is that?). So in case anyone is interested in purchasing something besides the standard yellow gloves that we can find at any store, we now have a choice!!

Do any of you wear cleaning gloves on a regular basis? If so, how long have you been wearing them to clean?

I use to wear clothes to wash dishes in my younger years.You know I had to protect the nail polish! I no longer use them. My hands get so hot when I am wearing them that I opted to stop using them. BTW I no longer paint my nails!

I'm jsut too lazy... I have a pair though I use them only when I am using extremely hot water. I used them when I washed Chris' baby bottles (long time ago) and I use them now for cleaning the Hamster cages and tubes. I have found that the rubber actually helps me get a good grip on the rings that hold the tubes together, helping them come apart easier...

I have heard that William Sonoma's gloves are really nice and they come in pretty colors.. no ribbons or bows though!

I DO use disposable plastic food handling gloves in the kitchen for handling meat. I love them for mixing meatloaf and making burgers. They are very cheap at Sam's club about 1000 for $5 or $6. Very handy!

Even though I only use all natural, homemade (mostly vinegar and baking soda) cleaning products I still need gloves because my skin is very sensitive. These that you found are so cute, I will have to upgrade my old yellow ones! Great find!!!

I like to wear gloves to clean and scrub, but not often in the dish water since that soap is pretty mild and actually seems to soften my hands a bit. I like Mrs. Meyers clean day products, so those cute gloves + Mrs. M. + a vintage apron + some big band music, and I'd be a happy cleaning momma all the day! I have been known to sew a bit of lace to my rubber gloves - mine are red orange and yellow swirlies and they are just cheap at Meijers, but I might spurge for some cute pink ones!

Hey there! I found your sight on lifes small treasures (amy) These cloves are SO cute, I would clean all the time if I had a pair! well, maybe not ALL the time. But, I would sure love a pair regardless! :P

I DON'T wear cleaning gloves, although those are adorable. I, like Christina, do wear latex surgical gloves for gardening and really gross cleaning. They seem to fit so much better and I can feel things with my fingertips. But, for everyday, normal housework, I have never worn gloves. I just never got into the habit.

I use gloves for the following: cleaning out the oven, when using super hot water, when cleaning someone else's house, if I have to reach down into the toilet. Other than that, I go without. My husband tried to get me to use them all the time when I was pregnant with our first, but that ended badly...I couldn't ever remember to put them on! We decided to switch to chemical free cleaning products instead.

The pink & gingham gloves are too cute! But I do not like to wear gloves when I do housework...I can't "feel" what I'm doing, & for some reason it makes me feel claustrophobic! (I will put gloves on if I'm stripping a piece of furniture or something). Maybe I should, though...I think I have "old" looking hands!

I'm always wearing cleaning gloves however I don't like wearing those things. But I'm a professional cleaner, and you can't clean 40 hours a week with your bare hands.So I have to put on some gloves...

A few years before, I was never wearing gloves, thill the day I got eczema.

I do wear gloves when I clean - pink ones (in a very similar color to the ones you show from Williams Sonoma) for the kitchen and a seperate pair (also heavy duty ones) in blue for cleaning the bathroom. I don't like the idea of cleaning my dishes in the same gloves that I clean my toilet, so keep two pairs . . . when I have to replace them, though, the link you sent will one I'll keep in mind!
